Toxorhamphus poliopterus septentrionalis Mayr and Rand

Toxorhamphus poliopterus septentrionalis Mayr and Rand, 1935: 14 (Huambon [5 Hompua], altitude 3000 feet, Saruwaged Mountains, Huon Peninsula, New Guinea).

Now Toxorhamphus poliopterus poliopterus Sharpe, 1882 View in CoL ). See Diamond, 1972: 353–355, Coates, 1990: 312–313, Dickinson, 2003: 452, and Gregory, 2008: 338.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 267876 View Materials , adult male, collected at Hompua, 06.21S, 147.43E GoogleMaps

( USBGN, 1956), 3000 ft, Saruwaget (5 Saruwaged) Mountains, Huon Peninsula, Papua New Guinea, on 12 February 1929, by Rollo H. Beck (no. 1010).

COMMENTS: Mayr and Rand gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description, noted that they had one male and three female specimens collected by Beck, and also included three specimens collected by Mayr (1931c: 657) on the Huon Peninsula. Paratypes in AMNH are: three females, AMNH 267877 View Materials (Beck’s no. 1445), Sevia, 18 March 1929 ; AMNH 267878 View Materials (1663), Zakaheme, 8 April 1929 ; AMNH 367879 View Materials (1742), Hompua, 9 April 1929. The paratypes collected by Mayr are in ZMB .

Both Diamond (1972: 353) and Coates (1990: 313) considered septentrionalis doubtfully distinct; Dickinson (2003: 452) and Gregory (2008: 338) did not recognize it. The genus Toxorhamphus is now included in the Melanocharitidae .
